Using Sloppy to view websites gives a reasonable idea of how slow this is.

Very cool concept. Unfortunately, this only proxies the starting hostname and doesn't rewrite absolute URLs, so on most modern websites, image/CSS/JS resources (being served from subdomains or S3 etc.) will load unproxied and not get slowed down.
